MIRREN LEADS CALL FOR MORE ETHNIC MINORITIES ON TV

British actress DAME HELEN MIRREN is calling for more ethnic minorities to be given roles on TV, insisting they're poorly represented at the moment. Mirren is desperate to see an Anglo-Asian woman take over where she leaves off in hit crime series PRIME SUSPECT. She says, "I think there's plenty of room for another hard-edged, determined female police officer on our screens, but I think television should create a new character, rather than re-create an old one. "A feisty, determined, good-at-her job Anglo-Asian police officer would be my wish for the future."
